Overview

An NSTableHeaderCell is used by an NSTableHeaderView to draw its column headers. See the NSTableView class specification for more information on how it’s used.

Subclasses of NSTableHeaderCell can override drawInteriorWithFrame:inView:, editWithFrame:inView:editor:delegate:event:, and highlight:withFrame:inView: to change the way headers appear. See the NSCell class specification, and the following description, for information on these methods.
